To be honest, this is not going to be the most useful consumer review as I only had the car for one day as a hire car ('it's a company car' was the closest option), but still decided I'd like to add my 2 cents worth as the car genuinely surprised me:

The model I was given was a 1.2 Mirage 3, in white, with only 1000miles on the clock. I had never heard of the car (hadn't realised the colt had been replaced).

Good points:
- Very economical, in fact the most economical petrol engine car I've ever driven - got 61mpg overall (photo taken before the final stretch) according to the computer driving between Luton airport, business meeting and Standstead airport. This included a fair amount of 70mph driving on M1/M25/M11.
- Stylish to look at, especially in Mirage 3 form with the alloys, fog lights and everything body coloured
- Easy to drive
- Decent ride
- Relatively spacious
- Very easy to use dashboard controls
- Very well equipment (elec windows front/back, climate control, MP3 stereo, parking sensors all round, auto headlights, auto windscreen wipers)
- Felt well built and put together and I suspect it would be very reliable

Bad points:
- Lifeless steering with no feel what so ever
- So so handling and lots of body role - definitely not a drivers car like a Fiesta/Mazda2!
- Engine, although not slow, lacks torque at anything below 3000rpm
- Lots of cheap, hard plastics on the interior
- Don't turn the BASS up on the stereo - the speakers don't like it
- No stereo controls on the steering wheel (although can forgive this due to the location of the stereo and its large chunky buttons)
- Smaller boot than you might think

Overall, not a bad wee car. Not one I'd buy personally, but would defend it to the hilt if I ended up acquiring one. Would have no issue having it as a hire car again either.
